His brand is clear
To the tune of: Morecambe & Wise – Me And My Shadow

“You might not realise it yet, but you’re a brand. All this time you’ve been walking and talking and posting on the internet, thinking you were a person, when you’ve been a brand all along. Who’d have thought it? All of your activities have been contributing to the brand, building a profile for it and even advertising it.
Why is it important to think of yourself as a brand? Because as information about individuals becomes increasingly available online, you want [more...]
There was a meme travelling my friend’s pages a couple of months ago, infecting time-rich and socially-starved brains as it went, and it was a music meme. I don’t have the musical erudition like Mister Gillen to write my life story into every song, but here’s a selection of my musical gems, shoehorned into this damn trope.

 To the tune of: Tim Curry – Sweet Transvestite

To the tune of: Belle and Sebastian – Funny Little Frog
The Frog Prince
Tell me about you. I worked in the mainstream games industry for 10 years (including stints at EA & Lionhead) but recently went indie. I have a game called Ancient Frog which is currently out for the iPhone and, in expanded form, iPad. Internally I [more...]
To the tune of Paloma Faith – Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?
A Reputation-Destroying Chair
Whatever your experience of Stuart Campbell, owner of World of Stuart, everyone agrees he’s a tireless campaigner for accuracy, honesty and justice in journalism and blogging. About three days ago he started investigating a seemingly minor infringement, the too-glowing review of an expensive office chair by Olin Coles, executive Editor of Benchmark Reviews (270,000 monthly unique users being misled there.)
